Correct. In America, "Calories" and "Kilo-Calories" are synonymous. In fact, rarely is the formal form of that used over here.

I suspected as much. Still hate it.

Don't suppose we could get everyone to switch to using Watt-hours? We could start listing exercise intensity in watts and you could easily calculate how much calories are burned during exercise.
